How to Perform an Experiment or Test

Give a detailed explanation of how you will conduct the experiment to test your hypothesis. This is called a procedure.

•

Be clear about the variables(elements of the experiment that change to test your hypothesis) versus your controls(elements of the experiment that do not change).

•

Be very specific about how you will measure results to prove or disprove your hypothesis. You should include a regular timetable for measuring results or observing the projects (for example, every hour, every day, every week).
